What I love about the left is how they jam and force the feminist Ghostbusters down our throats, and the second it started to show signs it was going to be a flop, ANY criticism was countered with "geez, get over it, it's just a movie, how sad are you."

No, terribly sorry leftist cunts. You forced this issue and now we're going to stay on it until it's ran its full cycle...which it has.

The movie that cost $150 million to make and roughly another $150 million to advertise has officially brought in....

Which means since it can't even cover it's production costs this late in the game, we can officially call it a "flop."

I'm not going to delve back into the political/social analysis of this movie since it's been done to death, but I will point out to Hollywood and Sony that this is what you get when you try to pass on an obvious political agenda as entertainment. Perhaps you can wait another 10 years to try this stint again after Overton's Window has moved a bit more to the left and try again. Who knows maybe an "all female Hogan's Heroes!" But they're gay, and pansexual, and all have bi-polar or social anxiety disorder.

Hello Lieutenants, Economists, Agents in the Field, and respectable others!

Your beloved Captain is taking a motorcycle ride vacation out west. This is the first true vacation I've had since I can remember since there is no itinerary, schedule, or destination. I'm just going "west." I for certain will be in the Black Hills area of South Dakota and Denver, but that's about the only concrete plans for this trip. Don't know where I'm going after that, and I don't know when I'm coming back, and I don't care.

If you happen to be in the "west" let the ole Captain know. He just may be in your neck of the woods and would like to grab a Rumpie or a beer. Regardless, posts may be a bit infrequent, though since I'm in no rush I very well could just hole up in a hotel room out in some small town and just write for a week. You never know.

Virtue signaling, in short, is where you take a position or advocate a position as a mean to signal to others that you're virtuous.

You may not actually be virtuous.
You may not even believe in the position, lying entirely about what you advocate.

But that isn't your main goal.

Your main goal is to convince sheeple that you are a good person, you care about the poor, you care about minorities, you're morally superior, ie - you have virtue.

Of course, in reality, you really don't. You don't care about the environment. You don't care about the wage gap. You don't care minorities. You don't care about the children. And you certainly aren't morally superior. But if you can convince weak-minded people, especially those who also wish to virtue signal, then you can sucker them into do things for you.

For example Target.

I loath Target with all my heart.

Not because of their politics or even that they allowed whoever to use whatever bathroom in their stores. I'm actually for transgendered rights. It's the gallons of smugness they have about themselves and how they just outright lie to their customers about their corporate morality, if not superiority.

They donate 5% of their pre-tax profits back to the community.
They go out of their way to hire waifs of women as security guards.
They're body positive.
Anybody can use whichever bathroom they want.

Oh, and they will remind you of this every two seconds if you're in one of their stores.

Let's be clear what's going on here.

Corporations realize that the socio-political trend in the US is drifting to the left. Not just in terms of economics, but socially as well. Ever since the 90's a huge trend in deriving one's value from any one of a number of approved, leftist, politically correct political stances has occurred. Going green, being a feminist, organic, non-GMO, diversity, the environment, etc. etc. And since now at least half of the population derives their entire life-value from their beliefs (and not their accomplishments) corporations know these beliefs are the only thing a lot of people have in their lives. Therefore, if they virtue signal to these sheeple that they too are (choose your plate of BS)

green
organic
for the whales
for the snails

these sheeple will buy their product.

In other words when you see Chipolte CONSTANTLY remind you about how organic it is, it isn't because their founders had some moral crusade they truly believed in. They just wanted your money.

The body positive ads you'll see in women's magazine? Yeah, the editor doesn't care that if you're fat...or...unhealthy...of that you're likely to be fat and childless by 50. They got your money.

And the colleges that sell you sheep $150,000 doctorates in some SJW BS crusaderist "studies?" The ones where you'll constantly have to beg charities or the taxpayers for government handouts so you can do absolutely nothing to advance the world? The ones where the student loans will cripple you for the rest of your life? They don't care, they got your money.

I absolutely love it when leftists always claim corporations have all this power to "trick" people into buying their product. But yet, while they're at the trough, slopping up the virtue signaling slop these companies sell them, they have the clueless gall to tell me they're too smart to fall for it.

So carry on virtue signaling leftists! Buy your fair trade (as far as you know) Starbuck's coffee. Buy your slave-labor Apple product. And please shop at Target. Because you're too stupid to see corporations' slimy marketing for what it truly is - virtue signaling euphemistically paraded as "Corporate Social Responsibility."

If you've been paying attention, you've noticed an increased amount of insanity in the population. This insanity manifests itself in many ways, resulting in a relentless onslaught of what is seemingly an incoherent potpourri of madness.

31 flavors of pansexual genders.
Why everybody else has "privilege" and should let blood for those who don't.
Interstates blocked by Black Lives Matters (though it is seemingly only white people).
Majoring in the world's easiest, but most worthless degrees...and then expecting a banker-like bailout.
Feminists carrying mattresses as they throw out false rape accusations.
Leftists getting raped by Muslim invaders...and doing nothing about it.
Priding oneself on going green as we ban plastic bags and Styrofoam.
Claiming we're black or native American when we're not.
Blaming your poverty, student loans, illegitimate children, and STD's on "CIS-gendered white males."

And the list goes on and on.

But while to the untrained eye there doesn't seem to be any logical rhyme or reason to this insanity, there is most certainly is. And once you figure that out, it not only grants us sanity by explaining precisely what is going on, it also allows us to actually attack the problem, and hopefully, resolve it.

The first clue you should have is that NONE of this is coming from the political right. Triggly Puff, the student loan crisis, mattress girl, blaming Orlando on Christians, refusing to report your Muslim rapist, and accepting a monthly terrorist attack as "the new normal" are ALL, 100% the hallmarks and patents of the left. You don't see the engineer-majoring sons from nuclear families who likes Ronald Reagan demand the taxpayers bail them out of their stupid mistakes. You don't see the daughters from father-present families who want to perhaps get married and raise a stable family get raped and then not accuse her rapist. And you don't see your recent trade-school graduate who landed a job as welder block traffic on an interstate like his 40 year old leftist counterparts. This insanity, and that's PRECISELY what it is, is all owned by the left.

Now we can simply write them off as being leftists and, therefore because we disagree with them politically, flippantly dismiss them and say, "well, they're just crazy." But the truth is there is something much more pathological happening here. And that is my "Universal Theory of How Laziness Explains Everything in Politics and History."

It is no coincidence the cacophony psychotic behavior of today hails from the left, because...well...quite simply...they're lazy.

They don't want to work.
They don't want to study hard subjects.
They don't want to try at life.

Be it Barack Obama or the spoiled suburbanite Seattle scum panhandling in Pioneer Square, the left is simply lazy and doesn't want to work.

But, unlike a truly indifferent welfare bum, who just wants to collect his government cheese, sleep in and play video games, the majority of leftists cannot abide that fact mentally. Their pride and ego cannot live with the fact that they are nothing more than parasites. But since their laziness and sloth prevents the obvious solution (work), how do they solve this problem?

With the insanity and mental acrobatics mentioned above.

If you look at the list above (or for that matter ANY example of craziness coming from the left) the one thing they have in common is deflecting responsibility.

That black woman isn't poor because she never graduated from high school, or had 4 kids from 5 different fathers, or never gets off her fat ass to attend trade school and make something of herself. Not, it's "racism."

The student with $200,000 in student loans for her doctorate in "Women's Studies" can't find a job NOT because she's a worthless, self-absorbed narcissist who was just too lazy to do math. No, it's "sexism."

And anybody who isn't doing well in life, either because they don't show up to work on time, majored in a stupid subject, can't save money, can't find a second job, etc. etc., certainly DON'T blame it on their lack of work ethic. No, blame it on "the corporations maaaaan!"

These pretty lies they tell themselves spare their undeserving egos the truth that would otherwise crush them. They have no agency or responsibility in their lives. Their problems are ALWAYS somebody else's fault. So all is forgive and they can feel good about themselves. But whereas this mental-trick falsely absolves them of guilt, their egos, pride, and mania can't just settle for a guilt-free parasitic lifestyle. No, they need more. They need a purpose. And not just more, but something that makes them superior WITH the added benefit of not having to work.

Introduce traits.

Traits are an amazing thing. Everybody has them. Each trait is unique to oneself. And you can even identify yourself with traits. But the one thing about traits leftists have seized upon like a lamprey is that....

you're born with them.

In other words, you don't have to do anything to get them.

And that's PRECISELY why the left champions traits over genuine accomplishment. Because they don't have to work for them.

For example; "diversity."

The biggest canard I believe I will ever see in my life is the concept of "diversity." Starting in the 90's they shoved this down our throats claiming that somehow "diversity" had an intrinsic value unto itself. Common senses says it doesn't. Reality says it doesn't. And it's also immoral, racist, and sexist to place value on mere traits one was born with over others without said traits. Still, this hasn't stopped the education system, government, media, even the private sector from capitalizing off of this lie either to garner votes, or use as a faux marketing campaign. The democrat party has masterfully enslaved their voting bloc by dividing the country up via traits. It has also (quite unbelievably) gotten the idiot sheeple masses to blame ALL their problems on white males. And whereas you'd think/hope the for-profit private sector would resist this, they've instead capitalized on it using it as a means to virtue signal their pro-not-white-male credentials to get lazy sheeple to buy their crap.

Another example: "pansexuality."

I lost count after 38, but if you're confused about the ever-increasing numbers of gender, don't be. It's just lazy leftist psychopaths who don't want to work, and instead pin their entire life's value on their recently-made up gender identity. Of course, if you grab a mirror, put it in front of their faces, and point this fact out, they'll throw a temper-tantrum and scream that you're an "ist" of some kind. But their emotional theatrics aside, doesn't make it any less true, just more cowardly.

And then there's leftist religions.

Like a zealot or religious fanatic, leftist fanatics worship and use their made-up religions to fill the hole of nothingness that is otherwise known as their life. This is why you NEVER see the captain of the football team with a 3.8GPA join the "anarchist/marxist/minarchist" trench-coat wearing, movie-theater-shooting, nerd crowd. Or the studious Asian engineering major block the interstate near campus. They have lives. They have meaning. They have purpose. They have agency. They have value to the rest of society.

You're a feminist!
You're going green!
You eat only organic/non-GMO/gluten-free/whateverthefrickthey'llcomeupwithnextweek!
You're fighting racism!
You're helping the poor!
You're a pacifist!
You have a ADDHDHHDH Autism or Aspergers are bi-polar or whatever you want to tell yourself.

You can claim allegiance to any one of an increasing number of bogus leftist religions and simply wear that trait on your sleeve like a badge of honor. And the best thing about it, so AWESOME in fact that leftists masturbate to it, is...

you didn't have to expend one calorie of energy on work to get it. You simply "declared" you had this trait or believed this religion. And now, not only does your worthless life have faux-worth. You are a more intelligent, superior person to those troglodytes who don't understand "intersectionality."

Of course, there are consequences for being veritably delusional and living a life of lies. The black community has made no progress to close the gaps with whites because they value their egos more than the taxing lifestyle it would take to have legitimate children, keep a father in the house, major in the right subjects, and bear responsibility for their actions. Generations of blacks have now suffered the lowest standards of living in America for living this lie.

Women, notably of the Baby Boomer and increasingly Gen X variety, swallowed whole the "you can have it all" propaganda, throwing away their lives...not to mention shot at having a family or husband...all so they could get that masters degree and become a professional non-profit something or other at the age of 40. These women also voted to replace men with the state, essentially wedding themselves to government. This is all well and fine as long as you remain attractive and your eggs remain fertile. But when that ends, and reality comes crashing down, it's sad how quickly they scramble to validate the feminist lives they've led by simply telling themselves more lies. 40 is the new 20! Test-tube babies! MILF's and Cougars! When, frankly, it just means nobody's visiting you in a nursing home in the end.

But where the delusional lives of leftists run into reality full-force and there is carnage on top of consequences, is when leftists meet diversity in the form of Islamic culture. The monthly scheduled French attacks, Orlando, refugee workers getting raped, Malmo, Cologne - be it merely a butt being groped or 50 innocents slaughtered, leftist voting and leftist delusion is to blame.

But here you see just how deep their mental illness goes.

If you, I, or anybody else were attacked, we'd seek vengeance, retaliation, and justice. I carry a gun, and like Creasy, I'm intending to get at least 6 before I get taken down. But what has the response of the left been?

In the case of Orlando, some leftists (though not all), blame guns, blame racism, they even blame Christians. In the increasing number of cases where some leftist idiot bint is raped they fail to mention who their rapists were. And some politicians are so wedded to their ideology when the perpetrator is NOT a Muslim they use it as a means to score more political points with Muslims. And while certainly some of this insanity could be chalked up to the fact they're more afraid of Muslims than they are non, the truth is even more pathetic and sad than that.

They lack such meaning, purpose, and reason in life,
They are such worthless, pointless people,
That when their ideology rapes them, or even kills them,
They will still stand by it because...

that's all they have life.

It appalls me just how powerful the force of laziness is. Where you see millions of people, entire generations waste their lives, endure hardship, seeth in hatred for white males, even suffer rape and murder because they'd rather do that than own up to their own decisions, take responsibility, and get a job. But there is a silver lining. If you ever think it's hard being a conservative or libertarian is this increasingly parasitic world, just imagine what your life would be as a leftist who is so worthless that they'd prefer getting raped than giving up their ideology because you literally have nothing else in your life.

We had the formula to success. A small state that served the individual. But once the left took over education we brainwashed everybody to believe the state was the solution to all our problems, and the next generation will pay for it. And they deserve it.

Because, remember, if you believe in fateism, then you abdicate yourself of any responsibility! Because it was fated to happen! And now, the true thing that matters most in your life, your ego, was spared. And that's worth trying to become a nun.

From this article, these are the people arrested at the Minneapolis Black Lives Matter protest that shut down I-94.

I'm going to explain one thing so we all understand BLM and what it truly is.

Understand the majority of blacks do not support BLM. The reason why is BLM are like ISIS - they're total pricks. They block interstates, they block airports, the block marathons which is indiscriminate and affects all races with their hate. Everybody hates them.

But what these pictures should tell you, especially those of you in the black community who always vote left, is just how much leftists white liberals view you as a tool to advance not so much their political aims, but their egos. Liberal whites do not care about you. They only view you as masturbation tools to inflate their egos.

Which should concern you.

Because when white people start acting like total pricks under the flag of "being black" I hope and wish and pray, the black community starts to realize who their real enemies are.

Bored as I often am in a car I'm not driving, I was surfing teh interwebz and it dawned on me,

"What the heck happened to Conan O'Brien's ratings after he opened his yap and decided to lecture the country about banning AR 15's." And so off I went searching for the data and found it.

The answer? Not much:

While I was expecting a rather large drop, the truth is his little sermon actually boosted his ratings among both total viewers and the (I guess the "precious" or "important" in the TV world) "18-49 year olds."

Though temporarily. After his little attention-whoring political stint, things went back to normal for Conan.

This further cements two theories I have about people and their behavior.

One, any news is good news aka "Did they spell my name right?" I have personal experience with this as the single best week in my entire career for boosting readership and subscribers came in the same week I received the most death threats - when I theorized Mad Max would be a feminist SJW lecture. This sent the tabloid world into a tizzy and boosted my permanent readership by 20%.

Two, conservative, republicans, libertarians, and even pro-gun folks are just a bunch of pussies when it comes to boycotting. I would have thought Conan had at least an apolitical market. And thus an assault on the 2nd amendment would have taken a noticeable and permanent toll on his ratings. Apparently not because, like Target, you conservative, SWPL republicans just can't be inconvenienced in your life to go without your precious late night CoCo.

In the meantime, I don't want to hear any complaints about the media, actors, Hollywood, Target, etc. from the Suburbanite Right. You're all too soft and pansified to sacrifice the simplest of things for freedom.

A new sponsor ladies and gentlemen, "Humans of Start Ups." And it may take a little bit of explaining as to why this would benefit you.

Basically, Max (who heads up the site) is highlighting different up and coming businessmen and women and entrepreneurs. He has a significant following (23,000) because this niche of the interwebz is full of people who are either coming up with new business ideas, philosophies, or products or people who just find this stuff interesting.

I can personally attest to the effectiveness of Max's site wherein I spent $100 for a month worth of advertising one of my books and easily earned back my original investment. If you are like me and have a book, an idea, a product, etc. you'd like to advertise I STRONGLY recommend you contact him (and tell him The Captain sent ya!)

I wanted to make this a separate post to ensure that Brian Michael Bendis gets this or somebody who knows him sends him this episode of my podcast. I dedicate an entire segment to him and his decision to make Iron Man a black female.

You can listen to the podcast, but the short version is that Brian Michael Bendis is admitting he has no talent or creativity if all he can do is change the gender and race of an already existing super hero.

This is not only tiring, but an insult to minorities because apparently Hollywood and Disney are so lacking of talent and creativity they're too lazy to create new original super heroes that are minorities. This is not only disgraceful to the already existing super heroes, but insulting to minorities because apparently you guys think minorities don't deserve their own original super heroes.

You are a talentless hack Brian Michael Bendis, and you know it. I, a former banker and now economist/podcaster/youtuber, could create a better original super hero than you ever could.

Now go draw your drawings and enjoy that dying industry of comic books.

I'll say it again for the cheap seats. Ladies, if you want a real job, one where you don't constantly have to be going to school for the rest of your life, getting CPE's and progressive credentialism, you need to major in STEM.

Is there any way to prevent this veritable baby boomer poison from ruining the lives of younger women? I mean I know these old hags have really fucked their lives up to the point it's unsalvagable, but for the youth that still have futures, any way to inoculate them against this snake oil? Or does the dream override reality and I should just say, "Fuck it, Enjoy the Decline?"

The latest news coming out of Venezuela surprises no one who has a basic understanding of economics, let alone common senses. However it did jump-start a question that had been lurking in my mind before, and I'm surprised I hadn't thought of earlier:

"Is socialism/communism only for white people?"

And by white people understand I mean REALLY REALLY white people, because if you think about it, the only place "socialism" has worked (sorta), is the Nordic countries.

Latino/Hispanic Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia have all gone through large swings to the left and only have a shortage of toilet paper to show for it. Chinese communism (again, not white) only managed to kill more people during peacetime than any world war ever did. Its smaller oriental siblings of Vietnam and Cambodia certainly didn't make a good go of communism either. Ethiopia (again, not white) needed both Soviet money and easily-duped 1980's American kids' monies to not starve. Greece, hee hee, Greece. And even the Soviet Union, though pretty-darn white and even the original practitioner, was just not white enough to pull off communism successfully.

Apparently, it is only the Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, and Danes who can do socialism the justice the rest of the world can't.

But why?

First, we need to take out the obvious outlier of the group, Norway. Again, the left loooooves rushing to Norway as the perfect place to live. It sure is, especially since it has so much oil it sovereign wealth fund makes all of its citizens millionaires. And remember, oil is evil...unless it's under a state owned enterprise, then you never mention it.

Second, are they really socialist? Depending on the country you look at the government "only" spends 45%-60% of GDP leaving a whopping 55%-40% of money in the private hands of those rat bastard people. Not pure socialism by any stretch of the imagination.

And then, let's not forget these "communist" countries not only ALLOW evil private corporations to exist, but they tax them at rates roughly half that of the US!!! Anywhere between 20% and 25%! Those traitors!!!

So in short, even the most successful examples of "communism" aren't communist. They're at best the exception-to-the-rule-mixed-European-model-economies.

Still, why do they succeed where every other non-REALLY-REALLY white country fail?

Well first they are racially homogeneous...for now. Don't worry, diversity and the introduction of non-Scandinavian cultures will prove the myth of magic dirt wrong soon enough. But for now, they are racially homogeneous. This has nothing so much to do with their skin, but more the climate they've evolved in over the years. No sun and cold temperatures result in very very white people. That is a function of the climate. But with such cold temperatures also comes short growing seasons, which forces cooperation, heavy reliance upon thy neighbor, a team spirit, and over the years, trust. You force a people to live in that environment over the course of millennia, they will evolve both consciously and unconsciously to vote in a more socialist economic model than one where fruit and bananas are falling from trees on warm tropical beaches.

Second, this instinctual work ethic makes them unconscious dupes. Even though the United States (and to a lesser extent, western civilization) has made the technological advances that allows the individual to work for himself, support himself, and finally be free, those precious Scandinavians just can't jettison thousands of years of environmental and social conditioning. They are not as individualistic of a people. They put their country and society ahead of themselves and their family. They are genetically most borg-like because that is what resulted in survival in the past. And a mere 250-year American experiment won't simply undo all that programming. Therefore, not only do they enslave themselves to the rest of their own society, they're "dupey" enough they'll enslave themselves to completely different societies that largely hate them, or at least view them for the easy marks they are.

Regardless, this willing "dupiness" is necessary for a socialist economy to work. Everybody has to willingly value society more than themselves in order to work at the slave-like tax rates necessary to finance a communist/socialist state. The Swedes, Norwegians, Finns and Danes on the whole are more than willing to do this, while the Greeks, Russians, Venezuelans...and pretty much the rest of the world are not. This is why "sorta socialism" works best in Scandinavia...and pretty much nowhere else.

But the thing I really get a kick out of is what this spells for our beloved western SJW's, leftists, academians, professional protestors, faux millennial intellectuals, media types, and social frauds scientists.

A world of cognitive dissonance.

Because along with the constant drum beat for socialism and enslaving the world's population, there's nothing more these people masturbate to than diversity and the insistence there's no such thing as culture or race or ethnicity (which ironically would be diversity). And these two things (socialism and diversity) are mutually exclusive.

Unless you're a REALLY REALLY white person, you simply have too much self-respect to vote in your own slavery. You're not working for other people, you're nobody's slave, and you're going to try to keep as much of yours as possible. Of course, this won't prevent you from voting for socialism anyway because you think you're special. That you won't have to actually be the slave and pay the taxes. That's for other people. And thus, unlike our Scandinavian counterparts you'll vote for socialism, but won't put forth the selfless-work ethic to make it work. Alas, socialist hell holes like...well...all of them form.

All people of all colors of the rainbow just won't take communism, but they'll sure as hell vote it in. And thus non-REALLY REALLY white people suffer.

Latinos in Venezuela.
Blacks in Detroit.
Chavs in the UK.
Chinese buried in mass-graves.
Liberal arts-majoring millennials in college campuses.

In short, the number one thing in these elitist leftists' lives, their only god, purpose, agency, and meaning in life - socialism - is bound to fail, and pronouncedly so in non-REALLY REALLY white cultures. This is doubly destructive because not only will their ideology fail, but it will hypocritically and disproportionately harm those the left purports to love the most - non-whites.

Of course, in the end, I seriously doubt any leftist cares about socialism or non-white people. If they did, then they'd be empiricists and bravely deliver whatever socio-economic medicine was required to truly advance their fellow human being no matter how harsh. They instead, are largely lazy, cowardly, self-absorbed ego maniacs who put their egos above the lives of billions, insisting billions suffer, and millions die, all so they can haughtily play "social science god." What's worse, is the majority of humanity swallows whole the slop they're serving.
